If you can get over the ironic hipster name, you can eat the best chicken nuggets you've ever tasted at The North Left.

Yeah, we've all had chicken nuggets before, but I can promise you've never had them like this. These nuggets are fried then topped with a maple bourbon sauce and paired with a rich barbecue dipping sauce. They're diced up pieces of whole chicken, skin and all.

They're moist. They're the best kind of fatty. And they're crispy on the outside and perfectly cooked on the inside. Seriously, you need them in your life. (Why are you still reading this and not in your car already?)

The North Left offers a variety of other items, but this is their unsung hero. It's the perfect late-night snack after you leave the bar. You could even make a whole night out of these.

These chicken nuggets are for all the people who never want to grow up. They're the kid's meal made adult -- and they're done so well.

Throw everything you thought you knew about chicken nuggets out the window, and get acquainted with this masterpiece. The kid in you deserves it.
